Stayed here for a week. Location is great with many amenities around. The rooms are very nice and clean. The best thing about the place is its hosts and their hospitality. The owner and staffs are super friendly, helpful and always ready to assist any request with a smile. It was indeed a home away from home.

Due to Lift breaking downing at our home and having arthritis and heart disease (angina) we were placed in this 'hostel' by the council.  …

B&B with very good bus connections to the city center. The rooms are clean and reasonably priced . During my holidays in Summer of 2018 some rooms had been restored and we were lucky to enjoy a new luxury room. It was very big, and the bathroom was extraordinary well equipped. Never had such a comfort before. The breakfast buffet offers a good range of traditional products. The staff is extra friendly and very helpful. The even managed to deal with special vegan diet without any problem and offered soya milk for my husband's coffee. It was hard to leave this wonderful place as we enjoyed our stay very much. We will definetly come back by next chance!

Back in August, I booked an anniversary trip for my family at this hotel for October half-term 2021. We 'secured' our rooms - and a good rate - via Booking.com||||Last week, I was contacted by them to say credit card needed updating. …

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights during the Fringe. Staff welcoming and courteous. Great selection for breakfast and ate in the bar - good value and very tasty. Room was spacious with really comfy beds - unusual for a lot of hotels. Easy to walk into the City as downhill but after a day of walking you will need a taxi back.

You cannot find a nicer inn anywhere. The rooms are spacious and we'll appointed. It is one of the few hotel rooms I have ever wished to spend time in. The chairs are very comfortable. …
